baby the Frewens are the chiefs. Their
career in Wyoming as great cattle kings,
will long be remembered. They planted
oysters on 1reland's coast; organized a bat
guano cave stock company in Texas; con-

boys of freshly imported English
lads; maintained a princely establ.s h-

The Salt Lake Tribune says the
pressure to be brought upon Governor
Oglesby to commute the sentences of the
condemned Anarchists is a going to be
tremendous. Ministers of the gospel;
men who have posed as statesmen;
workingmen's societies; women of all
grades; foreign societies; fanatics of all
shades; relatives of the condemned men
from all sources petitions are pouring
in to spare the unhappy men. Governor
Oglesby could throw an immense amount
of cold water on all this by posting a
box outside of his door, with a note on
it explaining that all petitioners for his
clemency in favor of the men would be
expected to contribute for the support of
the families whose protectors were killed
by the Vaccinations Of the men they de-
sire to have pardoned. Their sympathy
would ooze out of their finger ends be-.
fore a quarter of an hour.

A FIGHT.

HALEY News-Miner: Clark's saloon at
Broadtord, on Thursday night, was the
scene of a lively free fight which hugely

they would have some fun too, and each

Dor Gust for fun you know, and a right
lively time ensued. There was fighting in
the house, on the stoop and in the street.
In the morning the house looked as
though it had been struck by a cyclone.
About half the glass in the front was
broken out and scattered in the street, on
the stoop and in the house. The floor was
covered with cards, checks, billiard balls,
broken furniture, etc. An eyewitness
said he never saw so much fun in all his
life. 1t seemed to be a friendly fight for q
change of luck.

Austin with their blankets, etc., ON their
way East and West in search of employ

stated that everybody who could afford it
was leaving the camp. 1t will be hard on
those who are compelled to remain for lack
of means to depart. The company's store is
empty. and no credit car be obtained from
the local dealers because there is no money
in the camp. Men owning little homes arr

stranded on the highway from the force of

sad tate OF Austin as they said it was a
lively camp, and was composed of a very
respectable and law-abiding class Of
workingmen and business men.

We ind this curious story in an East.
ern exchange: A Mormon agent has been
discovered in Maine. He is seventy.
four years of age. In appearance he is
commonplace, never making much talk
with anybody and keeping his business
a dead secret. He has, it is said, been
pursuing his peculiar calling in that State
for years, and yet he has never acted
openly enough to awaken the suspicion
of the authorities. He has had seven
wives, and snow living with the seventh.
The others have left him and four are
now the wives of respectable men. This
old Mormon has told friends that he has
sent almost 100 women and several men
to Utah. He has also given advice to
parties desiring to get divorced from
their wives or from their husbands.

Thirty.five Hundred Dollars an

A Los Angeles paper has the following
to say of one of Eu1eka's former citizens:
One of the best sales ever made in Los
Angeles has just been consummated. G..
l. Grifiths, who recently married the
daughter of Louis Mesmer, the millionaire,
sold to a New York syndicate a tract Of
227 acres in the southern limits of the city,
at San Ped.o and Washington streets, for
S969, 800, or $4,000 per acre. The tract
came into Gritfiths' possession through his
marriage, although he owns y vast amount
Of land acquired before the marriage.
Seven years ago he was comparatively a
poor miner in Bodie, but he sold out at a
good time and has risen rapidly on other
shreWd speculations.

KNIGHTS TO THE RESCUE.

is probably fortunate for Hans Jacobsen,
late of this city, that he is a knight of

American citizen, who went to Germany
on a visit last July, and is now in prison
there, as a deserter from the German
army, because he left his native country
without having served his term of mill.
tary slavery to the Emperor William.
Had he been a simple American citizen,
without powerful friends in this country,
he would have remained in Jail or suf-
fered years of humiliation in the ranks
for aught Cleveland or Bayard would
care. But Mr.. Jacobsen happens to be
a knight of Pythias, and the Order in
San Francisco has instructed attorneys
to make the proper presentation to the
authorities at Washington, and will use
its influence to effect ~Jacobsen's release.
We are glad the Knights have taken
the matter up. We hope for the sake of
the country's honor as well as for the
sake of the unlucky Jacobsen himself
that the X. of P. will make a national
affair of it, and an international one
also. Germany should not only be made
to surrender Jacobsen, but indemnify
him and apologize to the United States.
There is a glorious victory ahead for
the X. of P. if they persevere, and they
ought to have the hearty cooperation of
every American organization and brother.
